DEAR SIR:-I feel that in Justice
to myself and others, it is my duty
to answer certain article in your
paper of last week headed Com
plicated Ratification" The arti-
Gle conveys the idea that we, the
children OF Rob't Rodes, decd, in
tend if we gain the suit now pend
ing in cbancery for the estate of
Clifton Rodes, decd, to rob certain
parties of land sold to them by
Clifton Rodes. l represent the
heirs of Rob't Rodes in saying that
not one of Us would have these
lands sold by Clifton Rodes and fol
which he received the money if the
law would give it to us. We only
want the property left by Clifton
Rodes at bis death, and to which by
the will of Tyree Rodes, ST., we the
children of his brother, Rob't Rodes,
have the right. 1t ia evident that
The article was prompted by TIL {
righteousness of some one not s
friend of our family. l will further
state that any of the parties who
bought lands from Clifton Rodes
deceased, can get quit claim deed
from Rob't Rodes' children if they
with it. Please publish the abo W
and oblige, Yours truly,
Tyre ROBES,

Legislative Prohibition,


The state alliance in session at
Nashville last week was largely at.
tended from all over the state, the
following being present from Giles
county: Jas. z. Rankin, T. NJ.
n. Jones, JAS. N. Matthews, Rev.
j. S. Weaver, 1Rev. H. G. King, S

j. NJ. Ashford, Robert d. Grigsby,
DIR. Locke, Miss Lou Ashford, Miss
India Grigsby, A. w. Griffin, j. A,
Cayce, Mrs. G. u. Jones.
The meeting lasted,two days and
was enthusiastic throughout. NJ
merous resolutions were offered all
tending in the same direction and
principally embodied in
THE MAJORITY REPORT.
The fret part of the majority
report consisted of the body OF the
address of President Fus sell, in
Guiding the dem and for Legislative
rohibition, which was received
with applause. The report con-
cludes with these resolutions:
Whereas, AT the election on the 29tl
day OF September last prohibition wa
defeated by majority counted agains
the amendment, but in as much as WI
believe that result was produced large
ly by objections to that mode of attain
| ing the end sought rather than On thu
merits of the question, and by the pol
luton of the ballot-box by the purchase
of votes by money and whisky; and
Whereas, The representatives of th'
prohibition sentiment OF Tennessee as
sured the people that the movemen
was no mere effervesoence of fanati
cal enthusiasm, but calm and deter
mined purpose to free our state iron

evils and crimes attendant thereon

BUILDING CITIES,
The South Can Support Four Times as
Many as She Has.

The growth of the south is not SC
noticeable aud cannot be so clearly
set out because Of the absence OF
anything in its previous history
with which to compare it. The
tenth census affords little means of
comparison. For instance, the mar
representing the iron deposit ia the
United States, to be found on the
76Sth page of Vol. H., shows Penn
sylvania almost a solid blue, while
in Tennessee and Alabama close
scrutiny will! bring to light come
very small blue dots. The immense
and inexhaustible Warrior coal de.
post is represented by mere
splotch. 1t can almost be said that
the iron interest of this section is
an absolute new thing under the
sun, and it is growing so fast that
no reliable statistics can keep up
with it or compass it.
The things that are happening
about us seem incredible and we
are so little used to them that we
almost disbelieve the most convinc-
Ing evidences. In the matter of
cities, for instance, many of US are
apprehensive that we may be over
crowded. Sensible men think and
say that Decatur, Sheffield, Bir-
mingham, Iron City and Nashville
are too close together-too many |!
Crowding things too much! We
call your attention to the census to
show you how frivolous such an
idea is. In 1880 Pennsylvania had
Sc towns of over 1000 inhabitants
and Tennessee and Alabama had
only 5 each. Pennsylvania had II
cities of over 10000, while Tennes-
see had only 3 and Alabama 9.
Pennsylvania WAS then making
nearly so per cent.of the iron OF the
country. Since then what has hap
pened in Tennessee and Ala oama?
The wisest prophets, the best
thought, of the country says the
south is to wear the crown hereaf-
ter. There have been millions and
millions of money invested here
where there was nothing. If Penn
sylvania iron built and supported a
city every few miles over her broad
expanse-over three times as many
as Tenn essee and Alabama together
why should we be amazed ard
do biting when we see a few new
cities springing into being here?
The fact is, the Tennessee river
is to be the great artery of exporta-
ton and along its banks is to clus-
ter the wealth and the Drawn of the
sOuth's iron interests.

Judge BOND IS the vice president
of the Land Company and general
manager. He is man of prodigi-
Gus brain power and quick appre-
hension. His master hand is seen
in sill the work being done. He is
a New Yorker and was prospectin g
in the south and was attracted by
Decatur's surroundings. He bank
ed heavily and won heavily. He is
a very pleasant, affable gentleman.
If Decatur is not to be the center
of all this, chen there is no force in
facts and no logic in S tuations. 1t
does not detract from any of the
other cities to say this-they all go
hand in hand. Indeed, there mast BE
more. These cannot accommodate
the people nor supply the demand.
We are we'll convinced, however,
that Decatur is to be the central
city, for reasons that we have been
particular to state in these columns
heretofore, and We are thus particu--
lar in pressing our conviction and
attempting to convince our people
of it because we want them to go
about at once preparing for it.
Giles county is to be the nearest
depot of supplies and it can easily
be seen how immensely interested
we are. we have taken considera-
BILE pains to acquaint ourselves with
the facts on which these views
are predicated. We went in doubt
ing that any good could be found in
old Decatur. We thought she was
finished many years age, but we
went to see and we were moved to
investigate, and we were astonished
beyond meas ire. We have given
in detail some of the facts concern
ing the wonderful things being done
there. but We desire IN this article
to treat Fly one fact in it's general
aspect, and that is the diversity of its
manufactures.
Decatur is not only to be the cen
tral iron city, but il lies on the bor-
ders of the cotton regions. A cot
ton compress of 10000 bales ca
pacity now nearly completed tells iu
part the extent of her cotton pros
poets. Not only that, but her in
dustries eYen now spread out into a
remarkable diversity of things
and there is every indication that i,
will cover the whole realm of pro
duction, not limited TO iron. 1t is
50 now to remarkable degree, and
the contracts that are out sor the
establishment of such plants and
the people and the money that are
coming in continually give sures,
promise that Decatur is to be also
the central commercial entrepot
The sooner We appreciate these
facts, the better for US in Giles
There is development going on also
in Sheffield and there are other
points even not yet seen where
cities must be built to supply The
necessary conveniences to trade anC
industry. No mau can go dowr
among these things and come bach
and deny the fact of the SOUTH
coming supremacy. fTHE CITIzEl
can help consummate that end j
will have done its duty to its PEG
pie.
One other fact with respect Il
| Decatur: She needs houses taste
than she can build them. A build
ing company will be organized will
capital of million dollars and i
is calculated that the stock cal
realize a profit of nearly or quit
100 per cent. year. In our opin
ion, there is where the money
and We would like TO see our peopl
make some of it.

Sherrell--MOore,

In the Methodist church in Gull
leoka, on Thursday, 10Th inst, at lie
o clock, a. M, Mr.. E. 81 Sherrell OF
Giles and Miss Sallie Moore OF
Maury took the vows of lifelong
partnership made so binding aud
impressive in the Methodist Epis
copal ceremony. The affair was
quite "tony" in every particular,
the latest customs in marriage
methods being used, and every
thing, to the flinging of the old
shoe, was carried out in an elegant
way.s The bridal presents were
handsome and of number sufficient
to show that <he bride and groom
were not lacking in appreciative
friends. The bridal party took the
south bound train for Pulaski,
whence they drove to Dellrose, re
ception being given there by Mrs.
B. S. Stone, a sister of the groom.

A colored woman, the wife OF
Manuel, the tin store porter, set
Tuesday evening to die and some
forty of the neiglIbors gathered II
and shouted with her up to the
hour. BY some oversight the grim
monster failed to arrive on schedule
time and she yet survives. She
claims that the Lord told her that
Fount Hays poisoned her. Fornt

hood and it Is thought he meant to
kill her rather than eee her lavish
her love on Manuel. She has been
IN curious fy, sometimes going of
in a trance like swoon. She has
also appointed the day for her hus-
band to die. Tuesday evening

pointed that she didn't die on time.
